Camp Lagopede

 rotation/shift/base camp  Add category

This is the exploration camp for the Renard Diamond Project which can host 75 persons and is used to stage all project related activities. The site has a satellite communications system, a secure logging facility, a fenced storage area for holding kimberlitic samples, a garage equipped with a welding shop, and a 10 tph Dense Media Separation (DMS) facility. There was another camp on the Foxtrot Property called Emmanuel which had a capacity of 35 person but is decommissioned. Power is supplied to the site by diesel generators and all fuel is flown to the site.

The potable water system used for the Lagopède camp operation is a portable ozone water treatment system, Expio, which is manufactured by Aquagenex in Clermont, Québec. There are two units available on site. The system can produce up to 100 gallons (378 L) per day, a sufficient quantity for the operations to date.
